SOUTHPORT 
YELLOW GLOBE 










The Southport Onions have increased wonderfully in public favor during the last five 
or six years, and they well deserve their popularity. In almost all markets they will 
v invariably bring top prices. They are not only of handsome appearance, remarkable 
solidity and good keepers, but also fully equal in yield my best strains of other varie- 
ties, 900 bushels to the acre from seed the first year being not unusual. For years I have 
taken considerable pride in all three of the Southport Onions named below, and can 
say in perfect candor that my strain of each one of these globe onions cannot be sur- 
passed, if equalled, in this country, Iam very sorry to have to report again a shortage 
T on Southport White Globe Onion; of the other two varieties I have an excellent supply, 
enough to meet all requirements; but 1 really have not enough Southport White Globe 
to go around, unless the high price I ask for it should restrict the demand. 
f SOUTHPORT RED GLOBE.—Seyen or eight years ago my annual sales of this onion 
did not exceed 500 pounds; today the demand runs into the thousands. In single dis- 
\ tricts in New York and Ohio, I frequently ship 1,000 pounds of this red globe onion 
{ annually. It isa perfect globe, skin being of a rich glossy red; flesh fine grained, white 
: and always mild and pleasant. Like other Southport onions it is very hardy and a | 
splendid keeper. On my trial grounds at Briar Crest last season, it Showed up the best 
of any of the Red Globes, and was the admiration of every one who took the pains to 
critically examine my onion trials. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; 14 pound, 50 cents; pound, $1.60. 





SOUTHPORT WHITE GLOBE.—This onion, on account of its handsome appear- 
ance, always brings top prices in the New York City markets. It is silvery white in 
eolor, globe Shaped in form, flesh of delicious flavor, and a fine keeper. My strain of 
Southport White is equally as desirable as that of the Southport Red and Yellow Globe. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 30 cents; '4 pound, 90 cents; pound, $3.25. 
SOUTHPORT YELLOW GLOBE.—TUhbis is of the same general character as the 
two varieties described above, except the skin is a rich yellow, flesh of course being 
pure white, and of a mild and delicious flavor. It is one of the most popular of the 
Yellow Globe onions, and my annual sales run into thousands of pounds. These three 
varieties of Southport Globe onions I have carefully bred up for years, so that I am 
sure all my friends who entrust their orders for these onions to me will be highly 
delighted with their crop and the price they secure for same next fall. Bear in mind 
that all three of these Southport onions ripen very evenly, and on this account particu- 
larly are wonderful keepers. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; 14 pound, 50 cents; pound, $1.60.

Bermuda Onions. 
) I believe I was the first to start the industry of growing Bermuda onions in the 
i g State of Texas. Fifteen years ago I sold, one season, about 100 pounds of this onion 
seed in Texas, with such success that fortunes have been made, and thousands of 
acres have been, and are today, planted in many parts of the South, especially in 
texas. My supply is grown on the Island of Teneriffe by the very best grower of 
onion seed on the Island. It is shipped to me in tins, and is in every way the highest 
gvade of seed that can be produced anywhere in the Canary Islands. All the best 
seed grown of Bermuda onion is raised on the Island of Teneriffe, as that is where, 
also, the Bermuda growers always look for their supply, there being no seed that I 
know of raised in quantity on the Island of Bermuda. 
NEW CRYSTAL WHITE WAX.—(Teneriffe Seed.) This is the large, white flat 
onion that has become so very popular in the last few years in parts of the South, 
especially in Texas. As arule, there is not enough seed to go round. It is very early 
and of extremely mild and sweet flavor. Makes an excellent shipping onion, and 
does well not only in the South, but also in the North. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 50 cents; 14 pound, $1.50; pound, $5.00. 
WHITE BERMUDA.— (Teneriffe Seed.) These are the immense onions which 
are not only grown in Bermuda to a great extent, but they are also popular in all our 
Southern States along the Gulf Coast. They are excellent for slicing, being of ‘a very 
mild and sweet flavor, and desirable for the home garden. I know of no better strain 
than the seed I offer. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 40 cts.; 14 1lb., $1.25; Ih., $4.00. 
RED BERMUDA.—(Teneriffe Seed.) This is an early pale red onion, of the same 
t rene aD = ; general character as the White Bermuda, except in color and that it does not grow 
E WAX BERMUDA ONION. quite so large. Pkt., 10 cts.; 02., 35 cts.; 14 1b., $1.00; Ib., $3.50.
